xAI accused OpenAI of stealing its trade secrets, Spotify addressing AI 'slop', and the EU told Apple it has "no intention" of repealing the DMA

from Engadget News + Next · host Engadget

-Elon Musk's xAI is suing OpenAI, alleging that the ChatGPT maker has stolen its trade secrets. The lawsuit comes after the company recently sued a former employee, Xuechen Li, for allegedly stealing confidential information from the company before taking a job at OpenAI. -Spotify has announced a set of policy changes surrounding AI-generated music and spam on its streaming platform. The company is helping to develop an industry standard for AI disclosure in music credits, alongside DDEX. It will be strengthening its approach to AI-assisted spam, such as unauthorized vocal clones, as well as uploaded music that fraudulently delivers music to another artist's profile. -The European Union has summarily rejected calls from Apple to repeal and replace its Digital Markets Act, the law that governs much about how giant tech companies must operate within the 27-nation bloc.
